Patent CA-2307924-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAFELD KARL
IPC: A01L5/00
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The invention concerns a horseshoe like hoof pad of plastic material having two legs, which can be adapted to the size of the hoof by means for changing their distance with respect to one another having the form of a connecting bar bridging these legs of the pad within the area of their ends and engaging the legs, which pad having a lower surface contacting the underground and an upper surface contacting the hoof, which lower surface is provided with profile elements.   In order to improve the connection of the ends of the legs and especially to improve the transmission of forces over essentially the entire front faces of the ends of the legs as well as to improve the connecting bar in form of a snug fit piece adapted to different sized horseshoes the invention proposes to configure the connecting bar as a surface covering, separate, snug fit piece having a special circumference completing essentially the recesses within the ends of the legs if this piece is inserted into the ends with the effect that the legs of the hoof pad can be extended or contracted elastically in dependency of the size of the special configured snug fit piece keeping the legs in mounted condition of the piece under tension.

Patent CA-2310177-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMESH PADMA
IPC: G10L17/00
Filed: 2000-05-29
Abstract: A method and system for identifying callers to a voice messaging system and classifying the voice messages according to the callers who generated the messages. Each message can be assigned a priority level based on the caller. This enables priority messaging, which is useful when sorting through a large number of voice messages, and speeds up the process of searching for messages from certain callers. A user (e. g., the message recipient) first registers callers whose messages the user would like classified. Upon receiving a message, the system determines whether the message is from a registered caller and if so, classify the message according to the caller.      The classification of messages by caller can then be used to selectively retrieve messages from a selected one or more callers.

Title: Addition-crosslinkable epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane polymer and coating compositions
Inventor: GREENE JAMES D
IPC: C09D133/10
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: The present invention pertains to an epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin, and an epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane coating composition comprising the epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin. The epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin which contains repeating units having the formulae: (see formula I) wherein E is an epoxy-functional C1-18 hydrocarbon group containing one or more oxygen atoms, provided that no oxygen atom is directly bonded to a Si- atom; and R1 and R2 are independently a C1-20 hydrocarbon, optionally interspersed with a heteroatom linking group, a is an integer of 0, 1, or 2, preferably 0 or 1; b is an integer of 0, 1, 2 or 3, preferably 0, 1, or 2; c is an integer of 0, 1, 2 or 3, preferably 0, 1, or 2; and in M units, a+b+c=3, in D units, a+b+c=2, in T units, a+b+c=1, with the proviso that the molecule, on average, contain at least two E  components.     The epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane coating composition comprises the epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin of the present invention and a hardener.      Preferably, the hardener is an amine hardener. The epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane coating composition may optionally include pigments, a flow additive and a catalyst. The epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin is preferably prepared by reacting a silicone resin with a silane having at least one epoxy group per molecule. The coating composition cures through the crosslinking of the epoxy groups in the E group of the resin to provide a coating which is weather and corrosion resistant. The polysiloxane moieties in the resin render the cured coating resistant to U.V. light and heat.

Title: Methodes et compositions pour moduler l'activite de la leptine
Inventor: FLIER JEFFREY S
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1999-02-10
Abstract: L'administration de leptine agit sur l'apport alimentaire et le poids corporel chez les humains et les animaux grâce à un mécanisme qui agit sur des zones spécifiques de l'hypothalamus. On a découvert que les gènes CIS-1, SOCS-1, SOCS-2, ET SOCS-3 produisent des effets antagonistes puissants sur l'action de la leptine. Dans des lignées cellulaires mammifères, le SOCS-3 bloque complètement la transduction de signal induite par la leptine, alors que les CIS, SOCS-1, et SOCS-2 restent sans effet. Le SOCS-3 constitue une cible importante de l'action de la leptine dans les cellules de l'hypothalamus sensibles à la leptine, ainsi qu'un inhibiteur puissant de la signalisation de la leptine. La hausse de l'activité du SOCS-3 dans des neurones sensibles à la leptine constitue un mécanisme potentiel de résistance à la leptine, observée dans les syndromes de l'obésité, les troubles de l'humeur, et les dysfonctionnements des fonctions reproductrices.

IPC: G01C5/00
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A system and method for improving the accuracy of altitude determinations in an inertial navigation system. Pressure measurements available to the inertial navigation system are used to initially calculate an estimated pressure altitude using the standard day model for the atmosphere. Temperature measurements are further utilized in the physical relationship between temperature, pressure, and altitude to compute a second estimated altitude, such as a Blanchard altitude estimation. A change between subsequent second altitude estimations is computed and compared with a respective change in the computed pressure altitude in order to generate a correction signal. The error correction signal is then used to modify the computed pressure altitude to generate a more accurate determination of the absolute altitude of the inertial navigation system. The error correction signal is calculated to account for changes in atmospheric conditions which may be encountered by an aircraft and to further reduce the effects of erroneous temperature and pressure measurements in subsequent altitude determinations. Thus, the system and method of the present invention provides an absolute altitude determination having improved stability and improved accuracy over prior systems.

Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: A polyketide synthase ("PKS") of Type I is a complex multienzyme including a loading domain linked to a multiplicity of extension domains. Ths first extension module receives an acyl starter unit from the loading domain and each extension module adds a further ketide unit which may undergo processing (e.g. reduction). We have found that the Ksq domain possessed by some PKS's has decarboxylating activity, e.g. generating (substituted) acyl from (substituted) malonyl. The CLF domain of type II PKS's has similar activity.  By inserting loading modules including such domains into PKS's not normally possessing them it is possible to control the starter units used.
